4. Press **Continue**.

5. Unless you'd like to make your new domain name private (you can read more here: [Protecting Your Domain Name](https://www.icann.org/news/blog/do-you-have-a-domain-name-here-s-what-you-need-to-know-part-4)), you can ignore the next screen by pressing **Continue**. You don't need to make this name private to continue with the transfer.

6. You'll now be asked to purchase the transfer with GoDaddy. Simply click **Complete purchase**. With this purchase, you're also buying one year of domain name hosting.
